Welcome back everyone. Sorry, I didn't update yesterday but I wasn't feeling too well. Anyway we return to our regular program.
Costumes
Randy ran into the gym. People were in costumes already. Ken was sitting in a corner with a maniacal glint in his eye that didn't have a tic. From that angle he could see the whole gym.
How could Ken have known that Randy was the Ninja? Did he recognize Randy's eye color? Randy's voice? The shape of Randy's body? Of course, this was al assuming he did know that Randy was the Ninja. If he didn't then Ken was just really persistent to have a specific guy for the Ninja and another specific guy for Dr. Assassination.
Howard was Dr. Assassination… bizarrely the costume didn't look much different from Viceroy's wardrobe except for the coloration. It was completely white, even the wig was white.
Then Randy walked over to the costumes for Kenneth Baker, the Ninja of the 60's… if that was really the name of a Ninja of the 60's. The civilian clothes made Randy look like Cary Grant and the Ninja Costume was red and blue instead of black and red. The civilian clothes were okay, even today that long deceased Cary Grant was held in great reverence for being handsome and athletic. But the Ninja costume! It was all wrong! Those colors! It made him look like a Spider-man knock-off!
The Mary Mac costume Theresa was wearing made her look like Bette Davis, that old movie actress that Randy's mom had a whole shelf of movies of.
And then there was Bash he was… Randy wasn't sure what Bash was supposed to be: a half-shaved gorilla maybe? His costume was just weird looking.
Randy walked over to Howard. He had to tell Howard about his suspicions of Ken knowing he was the Ninja!
"Okay, Howard, don't tell anybody but I think Ken knows I'm the Ninja!" Randy sounded really panicky whispering that to Howard.
"Cunningham, I don't have time for this. You know we have to do the movie in a day and I want to be as Bruce as possible!" Randy couldn't believe this. Since when did Howard act like this? Did Ken hypnotize him or something? But then again they only had one day to do this movie and there would be no retakes doing well in one take was very important. "And how could Ken figure out you're the Ninja? He's a crazy shoob, just look at the tic in his eye!"
"Actually, I think he might have pink eye." And then Ken walked on over. Randy backed away when he noticed that his right eye seemed bigger than usual. That was quite the tic!
"Randy!" Ken seemed less than happy about Randy and Howard talking to one another. Randy knew it! Ken knew he was the Ninja! He must have been trying to figure out a way to the Ninja mask! "Why are you talking to Howard? You don't have any early scenes with him! All of your early scenes are with Theresa Fowler! Now go spend time with her! Not this!" Ken pointed his less disfigured finger at Howard.
Howard just smiled. "Hey! You didn't call me a fat tub of lard! Thank you so much!"
"Shut up, you fat tub of lard!" And then Howard's smile vanished. His smile didn't turn into a frown it turned into that strange expression between smile and frown. Ken then turned his head, like an owl, and looked at Howard. "And you! Go over to Bash, all of your early scenes are with him so there better be some good non-romantic chemistry between the two of you!" Randy and Howard obeyed and walked towards their respective targets. For some reason, Ken seemed to look less human when he was yelling at them. They could have been imagining since Ken's deformity was rather monstrous looking.
